A Prayer for Every Need

There are many different kinds of prayer. There are prayers of gratitude, expressing thanks for all the blessings in our lives. There are words of praise—a joyous exultation that celebrates God’s love, God’s mercy and magnificence. Prayers can unburden your heart. And, of course, prayers can be a humble request that your needs—and the needs of others—be met.

Prayer is simply a conversation with God.

When you come home from work, you probably talk about your day with your family, reviewing the highlights and discussing problems that have arisen. Daily prayer is reviewing your day with God. Expressing gratitude for what went well. Seeking guidance when needed. It is an intimate conversation, where you can say anything with the understanding that forgiveness and grace can be yours.

Of course, sometimes we need conversation starters. We can sometimes feel awkward speaking to God. A Prayer for Every Need will give you words so you find your own. And the sheer variety of prayerful occasions will open your eyes to the opportunity for prayer in every moment—a practice that brings you closer to God.

Sometimes we hold resentment in our hearts towards God without realizing it, and this can keep us from prayer. We can be angry at how our lives are going, and harden our hearts. Prayer opens the heart and helps us align ourselves with God’s will—indeed, be able to listen for what His will might be.

Does daily prayer make a difference?

Sometimes people wonder: Does God really cares about the minutiae of our lives? About our hopes and fears, our desires and needs? He does! We know this is true. Matthew 7:7 reminds us to: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

What can we ask for in our daily prayers? Whatever our heart desires, whatever we require in life. This can include:

Healing – For ourselves and those we care for

Security – Freedom from worries

Sustenance – Both physical and spiritual nourishment

Guidance – Help in making important decisions

Strength – We are all faced with temptations that we need strength to resist

Reconciliation – To help us forgive and ask forgiveness from others

God is ready to answer your call. When you download your FREE copy of A Prayer for Every Need, you’ll feel as though you have a phone book that gives you God’s direct number, with the right “extension” for your needs.
